LSU names starting pitcher for Tuesday's game

LSU will give the ball to Cody Glenn to try to save the Tigers' season.

Head coach Paul Mainieri said the sophomore left-hander Cody Glenn will start Tuesday's game on the mound. Glenn will make his first appearance since defeating Alabama on May 22 in the first round of the SEC Tournament. He was suspended for the regional round of the NCAA tournament due to a violation of team rules. Glenn was voted back on the team days before the Tigers beat Oklahoma in the Super Regionals.

Glenn is 7-2 with 2.41 earned run average.

North Carolina announced that right-hander Trent Thorton will start for the Tar Heels in their elimination game against LSU on Tuesday afternoon.

Thorton, a freshman, has mostly been used as the closer for North Carolina, going 11-1 with a 1.28 earned run average in 28 appearances this season. But he has started only five games this season.

North Carolina (57-11) used eight pitchers in its 8-1 loss to N.C. State on Sunday afternoon to send the No. 1 seed in the tournament to the losers bracket of the College World Series.
